‘Why then did I not agree to marry her...?’ Issac asked himself. She had told him about the benefits that surrounded it, thinking about it again, he realized how much it would help and relief him.In no time, they would be back home and his mother would continue to work endlessly and tirelessly to meet up with their needs. Issac did not want that to happen any more, he want it to stop already because he felt he has had enough of seeing her fend for him and the only way for him to put an end to it is getting married to Evelyn. This way, his mother won't have to suffer any more, do those strenuous work of hers and he too won't have to see himself as the wretched and unfortunate guy anymore.Why should he let this life changing opportunity pass him? Who knows if a kind of opportunity might knock on him again? Maybe it won't till forever!At first, he had declined her because he felt he wanted to make his money by himself and felt like she was mocking his status —realizing he can't get
He breathed inwardly for the last time before picking up the courage to call her, he could not tell the reason why his heart was thumping very fast as he punched in her digit.The phone went ringing and as if she had been expecting him to call her, she picked up immediately on the first snooze. "Hi, there, Zik." Her voice came filling the air. "I was surprised that you called me out of the blues. I was not expecting a call from you, at least not this soon." "Yeah..." Issac suddenly found himself dumb and did not know how best he is to reply, he feel nervous all of a sudden.‘Why is this happening to me...?’ He muttered under his breathe, trying to calm his sudden nervous self down."Hey, are you there? Why aren't you saying any thing?" Evelyn rushed her words."Uh —I had decided to call you today..." He tried hard not to stutter but it was as if his voice failed him. "You sound nervous..." Evelyn pointed out from the other end with concerned laced in her voice. "What's wrong with y
"Evelyn..." Issac called. They were both in her office talking. "I have something bothering me and I would like to tell you about it, I don't know if you would be interested in it." "Don't hesitate to do so." Evelyn replied almost immediately. "Who knows? I might have interest in it." "My mother, she have been longing to see you since I told her about us already." Issac told her. "Don't you think it's time you both should know yourselves?" "Oh, Zik. You are right." Evelyn agreed. "I've been longing for this day too, I also wish to meet with her." "If so, when are we going?" Isaac asked. He was glad that Evelyn had already confirmed herself that she can't wait to meet his mother. "Since the both of you had want to meet yourself then we should fix a date." "What about this weekend?" Evelyn suggested. "I did not have any thing in agenda to do or go and even if I do have one, I'll cancel it." "So, weekend then?" Isaac repeated and she nodded curtly in reply. "Its fine by me."*****
"To be sincere, Eve you have really done a lot for me already." Issac told her in the middle of their conversation. "I can never stop thanking you for your kindness and support." "You don't have to mention, Zik." Evelyn replied with a small smile. "You are going to be my future partner, it's just a matter of time so I see no reason why you have to thank me over just a little thing that I have done." "Did you just call a magnificent house a little thing?" Issac exclaimed with his eyes widened. "You have done more than enough for me already and now you have just bought my mother a new house? Oh, Evelyn, you are a blessing in disguise." "I wish I can even do more." Evelyn replied. "That is just a mere tip from the Icebag and yet you are telling me it is huge? Stop flattering me, Zik." Did she just call a multimillion dollars house a tip from the Icebag? Maybe that is what the wealthy ones see it as. To him, it worth a lifetime and he is not sure if he is ever going to gather such amo
Evelyn dialed a number and it went on ringing, after few snoozes and as if the person has been expecting her call, the call was picked. "Hey there, Evelyn." The person hailed from the other end, the voice sounded cheerful as it filled her ear. "Hi there, Mr Felix." Evelyn replied, returning the same vibe as his. "How are you doing?" "Very much well, I guess so." Mr Felix said casually. "It's been decade since you've called, I can only hope there is no problem, right?" "Of course, there is no problem at all." Evelyn answered. "I just want to confirm if you are in your office before coming, I'll like to have some few words with you." "You should know that I will always be in my office." Mr Felix replied with a chuckle. "I have no where else to go during my working hours —oh, except if I have few cases to defend."Evelyn sensed the humor in his voice and let out a short timed laughter. "I know, reason why I'm asking." She told him. "You should expect me in an half hour then." "Ho
"Look at who we've got here, dear." Issac heard someone said behind his back, he was taken by surprise. He could never missed that voice —no, not even in his dream and he turn back towards the source of the voice.It was Evans!"The wretched lover boy." Evans laughed so hard at Issac, his laughter was holding nothing but mockery. "I wonder what he had came here for." "He might have been sent on an errand by his boss." Amy replied, laughing alongside with Evans. "We can't tell, he might have got a job as an house help or maybe a laundry guy, who knows?" "You seems to have a point, Amy." Evans agreed making a silly face at Issac. "But I would have loved it if he was to be our house help, you know, running errands for you." "That won't be fare, darling." Amy disagreed, shaking her head negatively. "He's my wretched ex you know, I can't bear seeing his face around me." "Yeah, and least I forgot..." Evans trailed off as he forced Isaac's palm open and gives him an invitation card. Is
Evelyn and Issac wedding would be in one week time. Every one has been busy preparing for the forthcoming wedding of the wealthy Evelyn Anderson and of course Issac too. Evelyn and Issac has been too busy going from one place to another. It is going to be their wedding and once in a lifetime too, Issac could not feel another heaven than this.He has never in his life been treated and respected with such dignitaries that he has been receiving lately. For some reason even unknown to him, he can never be more happier. It seems like a dream turning into reality for him, he found himself eager for the day to arrive and he start having sleepless night over it, waiting for the day to arrive. He hardly remember his past life that he was once a wretched guy who could not afford to feed himself twice a day, he's way too busy to remember such life again. Everything seems to have changed for better for him and he would forever be grateful for his soon to be bride, Evelyn. He wondered what m
The reception was held in at the famous and luxurious All stars hotels, it is regarded as the most exquisite hotel in town and only one of the one percent of the elites are able to book their event there but Evelyn was able to book the venue for their reception. Amy wrapped her hands around Evan while they stood at the door to the reception, Evan was furious that a public figure like him in the business world had not been invited to the wedding of the year but Amy could not be left at the wedding of the year and insisted that they went there since he was a VIP of the hotel, there is no way that they won't be allowed into the venue. “Your invite please!”. A huge male standing at the door in a black suit asked of them while Amy had a bright smile on her face, she wore a red silk gown that hung around her figure properly, it was the latest Louis design and she spent quite a fortune to get her hands on it hoping she would be notice by both female and male guest at the wedding. “Dont yo
